US President Biden publicized his economic achievements in a speech at the Brookings Institution in Washington on Tuesday, and warned Trump to repeat the Republican "trickle-down economics" during his second term. This may be his last speech on the economy during his tenure. Biden said in his speech that he promoted investment in infrastructure, manufacturing and neglected communities, avoided a bigger economic crisis and laid the foundation for sustained economic growth. "The new government will take over a fairly strong economy, and most economists agree with this view," Biden said. "I deeply hope that the new government can maintain and carry forward such progress. Biden proudly said that after decades of trickle-down economics, which gave priority to the wealthy Americans, his government adopted a new approach. At present, the economy is growing from the inside out and from the bottom up, benefiting the middle class. He admitted that American workers still suffer from inflation and high housing prices. Biden stressed that during his tenure, he created 16 million jobs, the highest in a single presidency, the lowest average unemployment rate in all previous governments in the past 50 years, and the smallest racial gap between the rich and the poor in the past 20 years. Biden warned Trump to provide more tax cuts for the rich and enterprises during his second term, and said that Trump's commitment to impose tariffs on overseas goods may make a "big mistake". He also said that he thought Trump would be in trouble if he stopped the investments he made during his administration, because these investments benefited many Republican and Democratic-led states.

CITIC Securities Research Report said that the Politburo meeting held on December 9, 2024 once again made it clear that expanding domestic demand is the key policy direction for the coming year, "expanding domestic demand in all directions" and "vigorously boosting consumption", expressing positive and igniting market expectations. After experiencing a rapid rebound in September, the consumer sector generally pulled back in October-November because the short-term consumption data has not yet reflected the effectiveness of the policy and the policy strength in the coming year is unclear. We believe that as the Spring Festival approaches, the top-down emphasis on domestic demand and policy expectations are heating up, and consumption is expected to usher in a new round of rebound and repair. On the policy side, in addition to the "trade-in policy", we believe that there is still a package of consumption promotion toolboxes available, such as subsidies for first-time car buyers, maternity subsidies, and the issuance of state-subsidized catering and tourism coupons. We suggest that the consumption allocation should be progressive from both offensive and defensive to flexible varieties, with both offensive and defensive features: consumer Internet, dairy products with low valuation and high return, mass catering, etc., and flexibility: catering supply chain, alcohol, human resources services, hotels, etc., with obvious pro-cyclical characteristics, considering the consumption allocation demand driven by expectations first.

Wei Shaojun, chairman of the Integrated Circuit Design Branch of China Semiconductor Industry Association, said today that with the closure of chip design enterprises in China by external advanced processing resources, the manufacturing technologies that can be used by chip design enterprises in China are no longer as rich as before, and it is necessary to pay attention to the design technology that does not depend on advanced technology in technological innovation. Among them, there are two technical paths worth exploring. One is the innovation of architecture, which has been suggested by the industry that it is the golden age of computer architecture innovation. The second is micro-system integration, and the three-dimensional integration technology evolved from packaging technology is gradually moving towards the foreground. (Reporter Guo Hui)
